Real or Fake Missy : Female Side Boss Character Does Not Want to Die - Chapter 117
Chapter 117: The Lost Xie Chen
Shen You returned to the coffee shop and straightaway went to the kitchen to prepare the cupcakes.
The whole afternoon, she made a lot of new products.
The college students who worked in the shop were so happy that they invited their friends over for food tasting.
Xie Chen always said that Shen You was talented, but her talent had not been fully explored.
Although Shen You was a little confident in her baking skills, it was her first time being supported by so many people. She was very happy.
As the last-minute tasting event had ended successfully, Shen You had another idea.
She calculated in her heart that she could carry out this tasting and the internet promotion simultaneously. When the time came, the effect would be even better.
With this thought in mind, Shen You wanted to talk to Xie Chen again.
She searched around the shop but did not see Xie Chen.
Shen You was a little surprised. After all, Xie Chen rarely went out without telling.
After about half an hour, Xie Chen walked in from outside the shop.
Seeing her dejected look, Shen You guessed that she must have encountered something.
Shen You did not have any memories of Xie Chen from her previous life.
The only thing that could be related to Xie Chen was probably this coffee shop.
Seeing Xie Chen stagger to the bar counter and stare blankly at the row of cups in front of her, Shen You did not know what to do for a moment.
She walked forward and looked at Xie Chen, asking with concern, “Sister Chen, are you okay?”
Hearing this, Xie Chen raised her head and looked at Shen You. The corners of her mouth twitched. “I’m fine…”
Shen You felt that her heart was aching when she saw Xie Chen’s expression.
She had never seen Xie Chen look like this before.
Ever since she met Xie Chen, although she had always been as calm as water, she had never looked so lost as she was now.
She had always been someone that people could rely on.
Shen You gently held Xie Chen’s hand. “If you need me to do anything…”
“It’s okay, there’s no need.” Xie Chen looked at Shen You and shook her head.
Shen You knew that the current Xie Chen needed to be alone.
She said to Xie Chen, “Sister Chen, you go and rest first. I’m in the shop.”
Xie Chen looked at Shen You gratefully. She didn’t insist and went back to her room to rest.
Shen You sat at the bar counter and thought about Xie Chen’s appearance when she left.
At this moment, the door of the coffee shop was pushed open again.
Shen You subconsciously stood up to greet the customers who came in.
Shen You looked up and saw Huo Xiao walking in.
She frowned slightly, and the expression on her face seemed to be a little impatient.
Huo Xiao did not expect to see Shen You the moment he entered, so he subconsciously avoided her gaze.
Seeing this, the expression on Shen You’s face became even more dissatisfied.
She cursed in her heart, “What? Are you trying to avoid me now?”
Although Shen You was displeased, she did not say much.
Huo Xiao adjusted his mood and said to Shen You, “Why are you here at this time?”
“I took the afternoon off,” Shen You said simply.
“What’s wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?” Huo Xiao asked quickly.
“Nothing!” Shen You replied perfunctorily.
The two of them fell silent for a moment.
The university student who worked here knew Huo Xiao. Seeing the two of them in a stalemate, she did not know whether to go over and greet him.
After a long while, Shen You broke the silence. “What would you like to drink?”
Huo Xiao thought for a moment. “A cup of coffee and a small cake, thank you!”
“Sorry, the small cake is sold out today!” Shen You declined without hesitation.
Huo Xiao frowned slightly, but he did not insist. “Then a cup of coffee will do. Thank you!”
Shen You said to the university student beside her, “Sister Juan, could I trouble you for a cup of coffee? Thank you!”
Li Juan quickly walked to the bar counter and prepared coffee for Huo Xiao.
Shen You did not know why she was feeling so resentful.
Ever since Huo Xiao entered, Shen You’s resentment seemed to have rushed out of her, making her feel like a rocket launcher.
Li Juan made the coffee and handed it to Huo Xiao, who was still standing outside the bar counter. “Why don’t I bring it to your seat?”
Huo Xiao shook his head and pulled a chair over to the bar counter to sit down.
Huo Xiao had never eaten anywhere else besides the sofa by the window!
Li Juan was a little surprised and looked at Huo Xiao wiping the table in front of him with a square handkerchief that he always brought along.
This seemed to be Huo Xiao’s habit. No matter where he went, he had to carefully wipe the place where his hands would touch with a square handkerchief.
Li Juan did not know the reason, but Shen You did.
This was the sequela of Huo Xiao’s obsession with cleanliness.
After keeping the square handkerchief, then only Hua Xiao took over the coffee.
